Where are the most dangerous places in the world to go sailing?

Many of the world’s most prestigious and challenging ocean yacht races – such as the Volvo Ocean Race and the Vendee Globe – sail around the world via the Cape Horn, owing to the challenge it poses and its revered place in the sport of yachting. It’s the infamous williwaw winds which make rounding the Horn so difficult; common and treacherous gusts which strike with little warning, with the geography of Cape Horn requiring a route straight through the fiercest of them. And of course, bigger winds, mean bigger waves.
